Lock 14 East, Ramsden Lock

The dredging works have been completed.

Lock 13E and Lock 14E are closed due to silt build up in the lock chambers.

Please remember our advice - only move your boat if it’s essential (not for leisure purposes) and minimise your use of the towpath.

If you are not currently occupying your boat the government guidance is that you must not visit it (this means no short trips or breaks on your boat at this time).

Please follow the government advice – stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives

Apologies the below note was added in error, the navigation is still closed due to dredging work and emergency repairs.

Customers are asked to only move if essential to reach services and to follow government guidance at all times.

The navigation is closed due to dredging work being undertaken and emergency repair work.

We will update this notice when further information is received

The lock is still severely silted up and this has increased over the past week.

We will update this notice when we receive further information.

Due to the recent weather conditions passage through Ramsden Lock 14E is restricted due to silt build made worse with the heavy rainfall.

We will update this notice when checks have been carried out and it is safe to navigate through the lock.
